Sweet draw for Fulham...January seems like it could be a good month for the Cottagers, now they just have to stay focused and make sure it is. January Schedule: 1/3 @ Sheffield Wednesday FA Cup (WIN) 1/10 vs. Blackburn 1/18 @ West Ham 1/24 @ Kettering Town FA Cup 1/27 @ Sunderland 1/31 vs. Portsmouth Decent schedule for Fulham this month.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Yea month looks good. Im pretty sure we can grind our results @ West 'am and Sunderland, and B'burn and Pompey are at the fortress, eh.. um.. I mean Cottage. COYW!!
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Hi, first post. I think by the end of January, Fulham should be 7th in the table. Hopefully, they will get at least 7 points from the next four games. Hull City should drop some more, and Wigan has a very tough schedule in January. I would like to see the Cottagers make a strong run over the next month.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 All I ask is for us to continue to perform like we have and to end up better than 6 points above 18th when the month is out. Drawing the minnow is a nice bonus. Mid-table and a nice cup run? My kind of season...
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 I was thinking that number as well...2 league wins, a draw and a loss would be nice for Fulham...7 points in January would give the Cottagers 33 points with three months to play. I would throw in a win over Kettering in the cup and it would be a great month for Fulham.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Portsmouth have taken another major hit today as Papa Diop is out for at least 12 weeks. They could be in terrible shape when they show up at the Cottage at the end of the month.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Good. I hate Portsmouth. No particularly good reason, but I'd just much rather if Southampton was the EPL rep from that area.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Now Defoe is out...sold today for around 15 million back to Tottenham. Great business practices by Tottenham, as they sold Defoe for 7.5 million and then bought him back a year later for 15 million. Portsmouth is in self destruct mode.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Pretty scummy for the match not to be given the televised treatment for the little club... there's been enough written on this ready that I don't have to delve into how much bullshit's involved.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Todays game has been postponed due to some of the Craven Cottage pitch being frozen. I'm so bummed.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 The Kettering match was postponed? No? It was the Blackburn match? Then why is it in this thread?
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Because we have just been talking about Fulham matches in general in here. The thread isn't the Kettering matchday, but a thread about the FA Cup Draw the day after their victory over Sheffield Wednesday. Sorry about the confusion.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 I just bumped the general thread I created to deal with the slower traffic. Feel free to continue to create specific game threads, of course. Hopefully the general thread can act as more of a chat on whatever topics come up...
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Not pretty, but a win is a win. A 4-2 victory moves Fulham into the 5th round draw. We are #13 in the draw tomorrow.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Sure left it late against the minnows. But onward we go. Wish I could have watched Fulham, but in other FA cup news, Doncaster earned a well deserved 0-0 draw with Aston Villa in an exciting match to get the replay at Villa Park.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Teams that we can hope to paired against: Coventry City Watford Swansea Sheffield Derby vs. Nottingham winner
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Coventry would be nice... Cookie may have motivation but I'd love to see the reception he'd get.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Could be better, could be worse... In FA Cup news, travelling Millwall supporters rioted at Hull this weekend. In other news, sky still blue.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 Better than drawing any of the big four and until we find our league road form I want us to play as many road games as possible in the cup so that we can shake off this current curse away from the Cottage. So far road wins at Sheffield Wednesday and Kettering and still no change in league form...hopefully the third time is a charm.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 I agree. A win against Swansea City and then there is a good chance we could get matched up against another premeirship club in the 6th round. A win in the 6th round over a big club could build a lot of momentum.
Re: FA Draw @ Kettering 1/24 You won't find it easy coming to the Liberty. With us drawing a lot and you drawing a lot away the safe money's probably on another draw. Just don't expect to see much of the ball
